firefox 3 beta 5 z-ordering incorrect for embedded bjects in some pages

[James Payne]

Binary package hint: firefox

Firefox z-ordering is incorrect on certain web-pages. See this page for an example:

www.sonifex.co.uk

 the menus appear below the flash animation this problem does not occur with firefox 2 or Opera.

I've done some more testing on this and it seems like its more likely a bug in adobe flash. As the problem doesn't occur in firefox 2 or opera in windows but affects both when run on Ubuntu.

The trouble is GNash etc aren't really pratical alternatives as the version of flash they support is quite old.
